Ha-Joon Chang - Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secre...

In this argument in favor of protectionist practices, Ha-Joon Chang examines the true history of protectionism and government support in the U.S. and other developed countries, finding that, contrary to popular opinion (and what is taught in schools), America benefited greatly from protectionist policies from the beginning of the nation's history and up into the present time. Other nations, too, such as England, have benefited in the same way.

In BAD SAMARITANS, Ha-Joon Chang presents an engaging, fact-filled, and enlightening view of American history and globalization.

New York Sun: "Ha-Joon Chang's BAD SAMARITANS is a lively addition to the protectionist side of the [free trade] debate. Readers who believe in free trade will not find much in Mr. Chang that challenges that belief, but the book is well written and far more serious than most anti-globalization gibberish."
